Vocal Chops, Macros and Effects

Bloom Vocal Edit Upgrade organizes its material around 14 sample keys. White keys trigger vocal samples and loops, while black keys adjust playback characteristics and trigger sequences and effect modulation.

Four macro controls handle quick tonal changes. Glue smooths dynamics, Fuzz adds pedal-style distortion, Metallic adds a short slapback delay, and Width controls stereo width and ensemble effects. Five main FX parameters cover Bitcrush, Delay, Reverb, Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut, and a global bypass lets you compare with the processing off.

The Phrase Player sequences samples and modulation, with five factory and five custom modifiers such as half-time, double-time, reverse and octave shifts.

Importing Samples and Using Your Own Audio

The instrument accepts up to 112 of your own samples, which can be swapped at any time. You can drag and drop audio files onto the waveform view on the edit page or into an empty slot on the banks page.

Sample Randomise switches samples at the press of a button, which is useful for finding new vocal combinations quickly. Key selection and host BPM sync keep imported and factory material aligned with your project tempo.

All samples that come with Bloom Vocal Edit are royalty-free, according to the developer.
